I really think that you are not understanding this. Nobody is saying that
the iPad will be their only computer, just it is small/light for travelling
with and is there software to allow basic cataloguing/editing of Leica shots
with it.... If using a full blown laptop, I like others chose a Mac Air,
then there is no issue.

I'm talking about maybe our photography which we sweat about buying
exclusive Leica gear for is too important to be editing with trendy hand
held gadgets. Maybe we can put them down for a few minutes and enjoy the
scenery - talk the the person next to us. And when we get back to your
hotel/motel edit our photo's on a laptop. On a screen where we can see our
images.
I find the never ending search for more ways to spend even a higher
percentage of our waking hours than 80 percent at a tiny hand held screen
ridiculous. Perfect perhaps for the Sony point and shoot list but for the
Leica list I just want more.
Put the damn PDA down for a minute.

There seems to be a direct reverse correlation between how much money people
spend on a camera and how much time and effort and money they want to spend
dealing with their pictures later.
If this was the Linhof list we'd be talking about editing our output on our
decoder pinky rings.
Big camera small editing screen. It all balances out perhaps.

I think we'd all be better off with cheaper cameras and a better workflo
with premium software to do it with.
